Contemporary City Escape Phillip ACT

Located on the 15th floor of the Sky Plaza complex, this apartment is the perfect getaway home for work or leisure. The open-plan living area seamlessly flows from one room to another. The large, spacious private balcony not only provides stunning views of Woden Valley but also brings natural light and an inspiring atmosphere to the apartment. With two separate bedrooms, one featuring a queen bed and the other a double bed, and a comfortable sofa bed, up to five guests can enjoy their stay in the heart of Canberra.

The apartment also includes a private laundry with a washing machine and dryer for added convenience.

The spacious kitchen, fully equipped with all essentials, is ready for any meal, from a five-course dinner to a quick cup of noodles. With generous natural lighting and a breakfast bar, it's a wonderful spot for your morning coffee. For an even better experience, take your coffee out to the balcony.

Conveniently located across the road from Westfield Woden, you have access to some of the best shopping and dining options. A local recommendation is the Turkish Pide House outside the plaza, which offers exceptional meals. If you prefer staying closer to home, you can enjoy a variety of cafes right at your doorstep, or visit the Southern Cross Club next door. This family-friendly restaurant offers quality food, a playground, a games room, an arcade, and entertainment for adults, including a bar and pokies.

Whether you're here for work or play, you'll appreciate this perfectly located home.

Neighborhood:

Canberra, once thought to be a drizzly gray city, has grown into a vibrant place with much to offer. Explore the Kingston Foreshore for some of the best restaurants and bars in the city, or head to the CBD (known as Civic to locals) for shopping at the newly redesigned Canberra Centre, featuring a range of luxury brands. For nightlife, Civic is the place to be with numerous nightclubs, bars, and pubs. If you're over 18 and enjoy bubble tea, check out Beirut Bunker Bar in Garema Square for a unique twist on boba.

For family-friendly activities, Questacon offers a full day of science and fun with its seven floors of interactive exhibits. After a day of exploration, visit the Australian War Memorial to learn about Australian military history. While more solemn than Questacon, it is an unmissable and kid-friendly experience.

The Old Bus Depot hosts a weekly market in an industrial space with chic concrete floors and high ceilings, featuring lively stalls with handmade goods.

Transit:

There are ample public transport options in Canberra, and the apartment is a short walk from the Woden Bus Interchange. Getting around Canberra is easy, whether by car, walking, public transport, or renting an e-scooter. For guests arriving by car, parking is available both on the premises and on the street.

Benjamin T.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The apartment was spacious, had a great view, and was very conveniently located, but there were some negatives that were unacceptable and as a result, we would not stay there again.* the bathroom smelled really strongly of mould* the shower was very dirty* every night cockroaches would come out and crawl all over the kitchen sink and benches, into the drawers, and into the dishwasher (6 bugs or more at a time)* there was only half a roll of toilet paper and none spare in any of the cupboard in the apartment (including the bathroom vanity)
